Is HDMI asychronous (do higher precision clocks help HDMI)?

Is the HDMI interface / standard asynchronous, or, does it operate more akin to standard Toslink or Spdif protocols?

My reason for asking is to better understand to what degree outbound jitter matters in comparison to "standard" Toslink or Spdif legacy digital outputs, and correspondingly, to understand to what degree higher precision clocks impact HDMI sonics.

Please, no diversions around "legacy format jitter doesn't matter because receiver chips overcome that."
